Very little equipment is needed for mushroom collecting. Tough outdoor clothes and a strong pair of boots are essential and you should make sure that your jacket or parka has a pocket large enough to carry a small field guide. It is not an exageration: some mushrooms are just to dangerous to take home. You may find a wide-brimmed hat useful to wear in the autumn, as the days shorten and the sun is low. It is easier to spot those intersting little humps and bumps that could well prove to be an exciting find if you are not having to shade your eyes with your hand all the time.
One or two baskets, are, of course, essential. They should be light, easy to carry and not to open in weave.
A sharp knife and brush are also important, the knife to cut the mushroom's stem through cleanly and the brush to remove obviosu dirt and debris such as pine needles and leaf mold. Cleaning your specimens as your pck them will mean there in less to do when you get home.
